Started building the engine. All of the clearances checked out during mock up except the deck height, so the pistons are at the machine shop for a quick hair cut.




I set up the distributor drive end play while the block was still split.




Bottom end buttoned up, checking the deck height.




Picked up the transaxle on Thursday, scrubbed it down and painted it, then cut out the end of a box and used a hair dryer to dry the paint faster.




Rear brakes assembled.




With the trans and brakes done I had the frame 99% finished so I pushed it out for a few pics.
